A study of the career paths of hotel general managers sent questionnaires to an SRS of 210 hotels belonging to major U.S. hotel chains. There were 88 responses. The average time these 88 general managers had spent with their current company was 11.73 years. (Take it as known that the standard deviation of time with the company for all general managers is 3.6 years.)
